4WABS driver warning light
[DR22955(BE )08/94]
The 4WABS computer continuously monitors the
system while driving for any electrical faults or
system malfunctions. In addition, the 4WABS
computer performs an initial system check called
bulb proveout when the vehicle ignition is
switched on. During bulb proveout, the amber
“ABS” light on the instrument cluster will
momentarily illuminate and then go out.

[DR22960(BE )03/93]
NOTE: After starting the vehicle and upon
initial drive-off, the driver may notice
a single pulse of the brake pedal and a
noise from the engine compartment.
This is part of the initial system check
and is normal.
[DR22965(BE )08/94]
Should a malfunction in the 4WABS system
occur, the amber “ABS” light on the instrument
cluster will come on and stay on indicating that
the antilock system has been shut down and the
vehicle needs to be serviced. Normal braking is
not affected unless the red brake warning light
is also illuminated.

system.
